Hi all,

I've been using ac for a while and now I'm needing some kind of time tracking capabilities on it. I'm planning to develop it by myself but as long as it's a planned feature for the next versions I would like to ask some questions about it:

It's planned to be included on next release?
If not, is the next version stable enough to start developing the time tracking over it, or should I use the current one?

Of course, I'll be glad to share my development.

Regards,

Pablo Viojo

PS: btw, great work ;)

Actually, the company I work for has already written a time tracking module for activeCollab. We're using it in our Basejumpr service. I submitted the code to Ilija on Jan 21st. This was his reply:

"Thanks for the update. Looks great. I'll just polish it a bit (add some simple reporting and ability to attach reports with tasks) and than pack it as 0.7.5. Thanks for providing this important feature set."

Any idea when you'll be releasing 0.7.5, Ilija?

Here's a link to the activeCollab SVN branch with our time tracking changes in place.

Sares,

Before you do any of this, make sure you backup your activeCollab directory and database. That said, adding time tracking to your existing install shouldn't be too difficult.

1) Assuming you haven't made any changes to your existing activeCollab code, just copy the code from the SVN branch over your existing install.

2) Next, you need to update your database by creating the table that stores the time tracking info and adding an extra field to one other table. Here's the SQL to create the table and make the modification:

You can paste that into a tool like phpMyAdmin or run it in MySQL directly. Once you do that, I *think* that should take care of things. Let me know if you run into any problems. You can email me at tyler AT sitening DOT com

Hello Tyler,

just want to let you know that upgrading worked fine for me, following your instructions.
No problems at all.

Thanks a lot!
Sares

Works like a charm. Great work. Thx.
